Every woman sometimes wants to be gentle and romantic. To create such an image, a dress with shuttlecocks is ideal. It will decorate you and give the appearance of lightness and sophistication. This dress is suitable for every woman, regardless of her age and physique.
This summer, such dresses are one of the fashion trends. They were represented in their collections by many famous designers - for example, Christian Dior, Karen Millen, Azzaro, Alexander McQueen. This season dresses with flounces of any length and width are popular, using various decorative and stylistic solutions.
In order to create a flirty image, choose a dress with a large number of narrow or small flounces. And to add a look of romance, choose a dress with flounces wider. To create the perfect
office style, add a thing with a narrow flounce to the wardrobe.
On full women, laconic dresses decorated with a single flounce, or dresses with wide flounces from flowing fabrics will look good. Also, vertical sewn shuttlecocks look great on the full figure: they will help to visually lengthen the silhouette and make the figure slimmer.
By the way, such a dress can be modeled independently. Now we will tell you how to sew a dress with shuttlecocks. A pattern of its basis can be taken from various magazines or printed from the Internet. It remains only to choose the shape of the shuttlecock and fix it on the model you like.
There are several ways to cut shuttlecocks. The simplest of them is a circular cut. To do this, draw two circles. The first (inner) circle must correspond to the length of the shuttle, and the second (outer) is drawn at a distance equal to the necessary width of the shuttle.
You can also cut shuttlecocks in a spiral. To do this, instead of a circle, a spiral is drawn with a width corresponding to the width of the shuttlecock. It must be borne in mind that the waviness at the ends of the spiral will be different. The wave at the beginning of the spiral will be much stronger than at its end. Therefore, if you want to achieve uniform waviness, it is better to use a circular method of cutting.
You can also carve a shuttlecock, tapering towards the end. To do this, draw an inner circle equal to the length of the shuttlecock. And we begin to draw the outer circle from the widest point, gradually narrowing it to the end and bringing it to the inner circle.
Sewing shuttlecocks on dresses can also be done in several ways. You can sew them horizontally, vertically or asymmetrically, as well as decorate them with various details of the dress. A dress with flounces on the sleeves or sewn along the lower edge of the skirt will look good.
Use a variety of design solutions. Arrange them symmetrically, in mirror image, try to sew them in several layers along one sewing line or use several lines. Any decision will make your dress unique and memorable.
This season, it is recommended to wear a dress with frills with a wide variety of shoes, from elegant summer shoes to platform boots and laced ankle boots. But it’s better not to get carried away with accessories, because a dress with shuttlecocks is a decoration in itself. If the dress is concise enough, you can supplement it with a small amount of jewelry.
